How to make a healthy breakfast shake?

How many people drink shakes for breakfast or lunch OR both?

• I was just wondering.... I do get tired of eating the same types of food and I know there are nutritious shakes that you can make without skimping on vitamins.. Especially for breakfast it's so easy to make a shake and go. And who knows, it could be healthier for you too!!! I was just wondering what kind of shakes you drink that are healthy and good for you? I was having that carnation (sugar-free) instant breakfast with milk for awhile but it still tasted sweet to me.

• Answer:

  There are plenty of nutrition shakes out there. Check with Consumer Reports and see if they have done any studies on them. I would buy the inexpensive commercial shakes (any grocery store) and avoid the specialty shops. Also, add your own herbs/fruit to the shake afterward. Eating healthy means getting vegetables & fruits as well. Never short yourself with just energy shakes.
